Meet the co-authors of A Kids Book about Pronouns, Dr. Courtney Wells and Lee Wells, in this interactive program about understanding gender identity and being an ally.
Wilmette Public Library, in collaboration with District 39 PTAs, invites parents and caregivers to build community and expand our understanding of gender through this informative author talk.
Dr. Courtney Wells (they/them) and Lee Wells (she/her) are queer, married Chicagoans committed to justice and inclusivity for their own and all kids. Courtney is an award-winning trauma psychologist with a super cool TEDx talk on dismantling the gender binary. Lee is a therapist working with LGBTQ+ kids and families and co-founder of Mind Chicago. A Kids Book About Pronouns recently won the Chicago Reader Best of Chicago award for Best Nonfiction book by Chicagoans.
Children 4 and older can enjoy a storytime and craft in the Youth Program Room while adults attend the program.
